Chandler on UFC atmosphere, fight with Hooker: “It’s great to have fans back around, it’s been over 10-months since we’ve seen these guys, Conor is dapper as always. But when I prepare for a fight, it’s not to face my opponent, it’s to face the best in the world #UFC257

Chandler on meeting McGregor: “He’s exactly who we thought he was. He’s a global superstar for a reason, but when that cage door closes, none of that matters. But when it comes to the man and what he’s accomplished in and out of the cage, it’s nothing short of amazing” #UFC257

McGregor on motivation on still competing: “I feel like I’m just starting. I’m a young man with many highlights. All the money, all the belts, they come and go. I want my highlight reel to be like a movie and when I’m an old man, sit around with my kids and watch them.”#UFC257
